An earnest effort will probably be made
to substitute Commissioners of Juries for
the Sheriffs in the State to select grand and
petit Jurors. The project is favored by
many of the Judges. One plan is to pro-
vide for selection of jurors to serve only
two weeks, by which it is believed that
better class of men could be procured.

Figures from Atlanta.

in the two years of prohibition the
records showed decrease of 2595 civil
cases, or so per cent. in justice courts,
which handle suits or executions of less
than $780, greater decrease in criminal
cases; still greater decrease in distress war
rants; an increase of 1910 poll-tax payers;
one savings bank had grown into five; six
building and loan associations into fifteen,
through which the working men put an
excess of $4,000 a month into homes
formerly spent otherwise; more than one
million and a quarter dollars had been adj
ded to our banking capital and surplus,
and one million added to our deposits; ST.
2S0,00 put into new shops and factories;
nearly half million put into new schools
and churches; the 1870 bar-rooms replaced
with legitimate shops or stores, and the
number of business licenses increased over
90 per cent, the merchants reporting re-
markable advance in purchases of the
poorer classes and agreeing that this was
the best business year Atlanta ever had,
the total CT business failures having de-
creased nearly one-half; the churches re-
porting that the church poor had almost
entirely disappeared and that the poor fund
was accumulating.

prohibition was not beaten on its
merits. The law was too extreme, it be-
ing impossible to get even medicinal or
sacramento wine without violating it. Its
administration has often been unwise.
The discharge OF every anti-P Prohibition po-
liceman in batch, the arrest and search
ing of two popular young gentlemen on the
streets, and similar instances of unneces-
sary aggression and espionage gave point
TO the cry of personal liberty. 1t was
taken into politics year ago and its ticket
overwhelmingly beaten. Had 1t not been
for these things the uudeniable good it
worked would have overcome even the
great negro majority against it. Atlanta
will not suffer seriously. Thessbarroom as
it existed, insolent, political, corrupting
and ruling, is a thing of the past. A year
ago the Ants sought to compromise on the
wholesale trade alone, with barrooms per-
petually shut out by legislative enactment.
The Prohibitonists declined. OF the
dozen men who control the Ants, some
still strongly favor the wholesale trade; the
Others the highest possible licenses, the
closest possible surveillance, no seats, no
music, no screens, no billiards or games of
chance and no saloon permitted outside
the immediate centre Of the city. '-Edit0l

astical history, and, in a word, are
quite convinced that when the proper
time comes, faculty of divinity can be
brought together that will reflect honor
on the university. We consider as one
Of the most useful incidents Of our mis-
sion the information given us by a dis
tinguished prelate who was for several
years a professor of the Sorbonne in
Paris. concerning the lectures before
the public which form SO important an
element in the work Of that celebrated
seat of learning. The more we have re-
f1ected on the matter and taken coun-
sci with experienced educators in re-
gard to it, the stronger grows our con-
yiction that such lectures should form
principal feature in Our university.
The condition of the American people,
who SO greatly need the truth and who
are SO ready to listen when fttingly
presented, seems to us te demand such
a provision for popular instruction. Its
great utility to the students of the uni
yersity is self-evident, as the lectures
would generally summarize matters
studied in the classes, and would train
them in the all-important art of pre-
senting learned subjects in popular
form, with correctness and elegance. An
obvious advantage of no small import
ance would be the increase OF popular
esteem that would thence accrue to the
university. For these reasons we deem
it our duty to earnestly urge upon the
board the advisableness Of determining
that these lectures for the public shall
form al integral part Of the work Of our
university. We do not overlook the
difficulty of having such work done
regularly and well but we believe it
possible We consider that we have no
right to shrink from it because of its
being difficult and we are confident
that, if il is resolutely persisted in,
''practice will make perfect"

| as Mr. payitt arose he was greeted
with loud applause by the delegates,
whose enthusiasm ran into cheers loud
and long, He said:
IT thank you for the honor sou have
conferred in receiving me iii the gene
eral assembly Of the Knights OF Labor.
III this YOU speak in advance the SYM
pathy I trust will Gnd official express
sion i'll your proceedings. There are
! many reasons why I shouljl obtain for
Ireland this expression frGnl the most
potential labor organization Oh the
globe. In ireland the struggle is Of
labor against monopoly, trying Co SUBJ
stitute the principles Of agrarial JUS
tice; trying to obtain q system better
in sympathy with the laws OF Justice
than the cold calculations of political
economy, In making these efforts we
are only seeking what is exactly con-
sistent with the principles of the
Knights Of Labor. Our struggle has
aided the cause of reform everywhere,
and the English, Scotch and Welsh
toiiers have recognized this to our
credit. In this country public atten-
tion has been drawn to the danger Of
allowing English principles to creep in,
and already railroad corporations and
landgrabbers are experiencing new diff
ficulties in robbing the great public.
We claim your sympathy On other
grounds. The struggle OF the masses
against the classes is the same every.
where and is common to every indus
trial community in every civilized land
to-day. It is the chief problem OF
modern craftsmanship. and as the
struggle asserts tie right Of labor, it is
the fight of industrial humanity in
every land under the sun. We want to
keep our people at home, to stem the
tide of enforced emigration. We have
room for 100000 population; now
there are only 100000 in the country,
though forty years ago it had 100000.
This rate will soon depopulate it. Ire
land may have become synonymous
with poverty and discomfort. But as
our country has not sinned against civ
ilization in fighting to be free, we think
we have right to public recognition
in our endeavoE to possess our patri.
mony. England's territorial aristoc-
racy is menaced by our movement and
deems expatrlation the only sure relief
from their danger. Refusing to ac-
quiesce in cowardly subserviency, is
one of our crimes, and imagination be-
comes the means by which England's
policy of expatriation is carried out.
No country stands more in need of la
bor than ours, yet England's policy
drives it across the Atlantic for the
employment needed at home. If Ire
land were overpopulated, or if the emf
nent necessity exists for the reduction
of her population, there could be no
reasonable objections to emigration.
But the reverse is the case, and her.
millions Of acres hunger for the labor

Mr.. Lowry's avowed reason for in
creasing the street car and motor fares
is that conductors could pocket five
cents out of every twenty-five by tax
ing cash and turning in tickets instead.
The fare Oh the motor was put up be
cause it would be unjust to discrimi-
nate in favor Of residents on that
line.
